Android Central's Guide to Black Friday Deals

Black Friday is Nigh! It's not here yet, but it's nigh! The biggest retail day of the season is almost upon us, and buried among the John Tesh Christmas albums and holiday sweaters are some truly sweet deals on Android devices if you can find them. That's where we come in. Join us after the break to see the amazing deals we've uncovered. Find your own? Leave 'em in the comments. via [bfads.net]

Carrier Deals:

The Holiday isn't just for the big box retailers. Carriers are sure to come out with some amazing deals to try and entice you to sign a contract with them this holiday season. While a few deals have leaked out, expect them to have massive marketing campaigns the closer we get to Christmas. Here's what we know so far:

Smartphone's Talk Free: On a family plan and looking to upgrade to a smartphone, or sign up for the first time? Verizon will credit the $10 add-a-Line cost for the life of the contract, saving you a potential $240 per line over 2 years.

Sam's Club:

Android Tablets:

If you're on the hunt for a Bargain-priced Android handset we haven't forgotten about you. Despite Google's insistence that Android isn't ready for the tablet form factor, dozens of device manufacturers have devices vying for your cash this holiday season. These devices don't have access to the Android Marketplace, but they're priced lower than the only tablet that currently does. If you're looking for a basic android tablet for yourself or a loved one, check out some of the offers below:

If we missed any deals, please let us know in the comments and we'll update the list as soon as we can. While you're out researching your next purchase, be sure to swing by our forums to read feedback from other users.

And if you're buying for someone who already has an Android phone, stop by our store and pick up an extra case, dock or extended battery. Happy shopping everyone.

I work at a sams club cell phone kiosk and the deals we are having are:
Samsung fascinate for one dollar
Incredible is free
Samsung epic is 100 dollars
Lg optimus s is free
Samsung captivate is 50
So those are the deals sams club is having on Friday
Cheers!

Well if I was at work i could post a picture that has the pricing on it, but i wont be in until 430 tomorrow morning lol.
Problem is that sams club rarely advertises anything to do with the cell phones

The problem with Sam's club mobile is that most of them are not owned by sam's club. I work at a sam's club where the kiosk is run by sam's club and not a vendor company. Your sam's club may have completely different deals depending on who runs the kiosk. Our black friday deals are:

Fascinate- $.96
Captivate- $.96
Vibrant- $.96
Epic 4g - $.96

fyi, at my club, the optimus has been $.96 since the day it came out and the droid 2 dropped to $.96 last week. normal pricing.

I'm on VZ- what options do I have to get a new phone (I'm currently on an Eris, bought this time last year)? Can I re-up with a new, longer contract, or do I have to pay full price? VZ says on their web site that I'm not eligible for an upgrade until NEXT FREAKIN' JULY, but I want a NEW PHONE!

Can I take advantage of the BB $1 DInc or the free DInc spot or what? Anybody know??

amazon wireless had the droid x for $1 or so - something crazy - Deffinatly check amazon wireless - and walmart they are offering $100 GCard for any qualifiying smartphone - Saw a deal earlier that walmart was going through "let's talk" and that the coupon codes for $25 off were working so it was like getting an X and $100 GC for 24.99

Yeah I drove 40 miles to my nearest club at 10:30 to get in line for midnight but then found out that it was 5am so had to drive back home and will head back out in a few hours. Planning to get two Facinates.

A bit off the point... I'm grateful that I'm not working at a retail store today. Don't want to have anything to do with those customers who want to shop today (and tomorrow at Target.) Thank goodness! Hate black Fridays. Seriously.

Confirmed Epic 4g at Sams Club for $100 on upgrade. It was going to be on sale for Friday and Saturday. Also, did not need a Sams Card to buy the phone, it is a kiosk owned and operated by Radio Shack. I'll probably get it later today.

These deals would be great if freakin' VZ would let me upgrade my phone!! I bought it last Nov when it was new (an Eris) and they say I can't upgrade til 7/11 - especially not at a 3rd party dealer like BB. This sucks. Thank God for rooting and custom ROMs....
